Various: Monsters Vampires Voodoos & Spooks (CD)

(Jasmine) 33 tracks (79:43) -The 1950s saw a huge renaissance of Horror, Monster and Vampire movies, TV shows and comics in the United States, which coincided with the arrival of Rock & Roll.This led to the appearance of a plethora of novelty discs, often on tiny, mysterious, local record labels, some of which crossed over to become major hits.

This is a fun, 33-track celebration of such recordings, ranging from the downright obscure to multi-million-sellers. Includes hits like John Zacherle's ghoulish 'Dinner With Drac', Sheb Wooley's high octane 'Purple People Eater' and the genre's biggest-ever success, Bobby (Boris) Pickett & The Crypt Kickers' perennial 'Monster Mash'.
